Promises

Don’t you just hate it when someone promises to do something for you and then they don’t bother (you know who you are!), well that’s the focus of the track Promesas by Chilean super funksters Los Mono. The video is genius and quite rightly went viral on youtube. The track is from Los Mono Somos Los Que Estamos which you can get from itunes or Amazon (click the album cover), an album which continues the theme of doing the right thing:

“Not only is Somos Los Que Estamos a full on high-energy blast from start to finish, the album is an adventure with a moral message; promoting creativity, originality, positivism, and self-responsibility. In fact, the conscious lyrics and upbeat vibe are the perfect compliment to an album that is driven from start to finish with a myriad of crunchy lo-fi beats n bleeps, infectious melodies and pure funk-fuelled inspiration.” Los Mono at Sonic360.
